Chairman Mr. Ramoji Rao

The RFC infrastructure includes: custom-designed locations & mock-ups, set construction, properties & costumes, shooting stages, camera and equipment, audio post-production, digital post-production/SFX and film processing.

This expansive scope of Ramoji Film City’s infrastructure inspires our credo: Walk in with a script and walk out with a canned film.

The creation of Ramoji Film City is rooted in the Ramoji Group’s long and illustrious involvement with the film industry. Over the past two decades, Ushakiron Movies – the dedicated film production company of the group – has produced over 80 films in several Indian languages including Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Marathi and Bangla.

Our committed association with industry gave us a clear understanding of one of filmmakers’ long-cherished hopes – to experience the convenience of a facility that provides the entire range of top-quality filmmaking resources under one roof. And Ramoji Film City redeems that hope.

Offering services that are comprehensive, cost-effective and uncompromising in quality, the city rests on the secure foundation of Ramoji Group’s formidable knowledge of filmmakers’ real needs.

Ramoji Film City is a part of the well-established Ramoji Group, which is known for its distinguished engagement in diverse sectors:
· Publishing
   Eenadu - One of India’s largest circulated regional language dailies with a readership of over 90,00,000. The newspaper, which has evolved as the strongest voice of the people of Andhra Pradesh, was envisioned as an endeavour to provide readers with information that really matters. News before Sunrise is the rationale that powers the Eenadu initiative.

Today, the paper is simultaneously published from 24 centres.

Every ETV Network channel focuses exclusively on its audience’s unique cultural identity, its aspirations and its distinct socio-political character.

The network’s creative drive is supported by its ability to absorb emerging technology. ETV’s state-of-the-art infrastructure includes a dedicated Earth Station, the first to be commissioned in India by a private media organization. This technological capability, augmented by the network’s India-wide VSAT facility, enables ETV to expeditiously disseminate news and other events. The network leverages its infrastructure to telecast events live whenever necessary.

The infrastructural strengths are complemented by the experience and expertise of the highly accomplished journalists who constitute ETV Network’s expansive network. Apart from major cities, ETV reporters are also stationed at remote hamlets so that the viewers get the complete picture of the happenings shaping their lives.
